More About Me

I'm passionate about

Science, Physics, Art, Abstract, Nature, Spiritual beliefs, LEARNING

An idea worth spreading

We see ourselves as a person , made up by other people , but we live from our own views and beliefs that are made up by people. Acceptance is a value as you want or need to be noticed in a good or bad way, but to you its all good , do to what you call survival for yourself. Living life is a question mark, you just are born and start the wheel of following a person or group you believe in from perceptions of a reality that is yours. If you think of something, where did the idea come from , when do unique come from, when you have nothing like people in the passed making the world today , to a modern era where you follow whats all ready there and grow upon or progress to make something that was done, better. Its good to grow of off the values and ideas of people and to share information and ideas of the world, your reality isn't my reality , but we are in this world and universe that has laws we all go by that are the same, depending on if we can change them, then we are bound to a whole.

My TED Story

I have all ways been different in my life, over growing among my peers, being good at anything I put my mind to at age 16 I found a true talent for Art. I now experience and understand Apophenia to an extent. I see it everywhere and has become a great artist because of it, making my own unique art style, liked by many, I give this experience to others that has opened up there minds to a newer light that has been forgotten. In doing so, and gaining this experience I became able to understand science and Physics more easily since it seems to make sense, if you do an experiment and do it again and get the same results then it must be a result of a fact of what science is. Once I understood that, it made sense to me that science when looked at through a simple mind, is starting from scratch from a fresh new mind. From 16 on to today at 21 I have been learning more and opening myself up to anything that seems artistic and logical to life. Since i have this so Called " Talent Perception" ...

  • A comment on Conversation: Does formal education as a child hinder a child's creativity?

    Oct 5 2012: If students where looked at for there creativity, learned in there way, also taking the same tests in there way of learning, then this whole idea of failing would decrease wouldn't it.
    Coming to school and being interested in learning your way, from that persons Talents, would make students more able to learn, follow the class and not feel stupid cause some kids fail a test that only a person with a talent of being "Book Smart" can pass.
    Hands on people will learn mostly there way same with Artists, intro and extroverted people, Etc... ,
    Yes, there is a system to go by, all students should and will be learned all the material of school, values, logic, creativity. People should be pushed to learn new stuff, but never shove them against a wall of a few options and not be valued for what they have.
    People learning mostly there way or in there views of life will increase or should increase % of marks and make them feel good to want to go to school, cause it is something that they want to do since it will be what they love, witch is Learning and the feeling that the students know they will excel passed a normal school system and grow from themselves. Other topics and subjects should seem easy cause maybe you will have there attention and interest more , witch might increase learning.
